Ingredients
- 1 small butternut squash (approx. 500g)
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- 3 Tbsp Greek yogurt or crème fraîche
- 1 large handful of spinach
- Grated Parmesan cheese (approx. 1 Tbsp.) Salt pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Peel & deseed the squash, then cut its flesh into thin slices. Place the slices onto a large baking sheet.
